1: λιμός

(Strong's #3042 — Noun Masculine — limos — lee-mos' )

is translated "hunger" in Luke 15:17; 2 Corinthians 11:27; elsewhere it signifies "a famine," and is so translated in each place in the RV; the AV has the word "dearth" in Acts 7:11; 11:28 , and "hunger" in Revelation 6:8; the RV "famine" is preferable there; see Matthew 24:7; Mark 13:8; Luke 4:25; 15:14; 21:11; Romans 8:35; Revelation 18:8 . See HUNGER.
